When I applied for the job eight years ago, I had no idea that I was the daughter, granddaughter and niece of CFIB members. What a legacy! My mother told me that "CFIB is a great organization. It gave my business a voice."

As you know, it can cost thousands of dollars to replace a worker. The Hire a Worker Program provided by WorkSafeBC can give you access to skilled workers without incurring the usual costs associated with advertising, recruiting, and training potential employees. Employers who use the hiring program can qualify for cost-incentive programs designed to help offset the costs of training a new employee.
